#62=theta#

Explanation:

If you were to have an angle, #theta#, you could express its complement #90-theta#

#"six degrees more than twice its complement"# can be expressed as:
#2(90-theta)+6=theta#

We can now solve for #theta#

#2(90-theta)+6=theta#

=>#180-2theta+6=theta#

=>#186=3theta#

=>#62=theta#

That is our answer!
